Samantha Sweeting, the 29-year-old heroine of Kinsella's latest confection (after Shopaholic Sister), is on the verge of partnership at the prestigious London law firm Carter Spink—the Holy Grail of her entire workaholic life. But when she finds she has made a terrible, costly mistake just before the partnership decision, she's terrified of being fired. In a fog, she stumbles out of the building and onto the nearest train, which drops her in the countryside, where she wanders to a stately home. The nouveau riche lady of the house mistakes her for the new housekeeper—and Samantha is too astonished to correct her.
Тайны. Маленькие женские тайны. Тайны, которыми можно поделиться лишь со случайным попутчиком в самолете. Удобно? Безопасно? Возможно... Но помните, женщины, - все, что вы когда-нибудь скажете мужчине, может быть рано или поздно использовано против вас! Если, конечно, вы не способны разузнать и его секреты, а потом отплатить ему той же монетой... With the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism that have made her Shopaholic novels beloved international bestsellers, Sophie Kinsella delivers a hilarious new novel and an unforgettable new character.
